Answer:

The correct answer is diffusion of innovation theory.

Explanation:

The DOI or diffusion of innovation theory was postulated in 1962 by E.M. Rogers. It is considered as one of the oldest theories in the field of social science. It was deduced in order to illustrate how with time, a product or an idea attains momentum and spreads via a particular social system or population. The eventual outcome of this diffusion is that the individuals, which are the components of a social system, adopts a novel behavior, notion, or a product.  

Here adoption signifies that an individual does something distinctly than what he or she was doing previously. The prime condition of adoption is that the individual must acquire the behavior, idea, or product as a novel or innovative thing. Getting amended with a novel concept, product, or behavior does not take place instantaneously within a social system, however, it is a thing in which some individuals possess the tendency to adopt a new thing more easily in comparison to others.

What type of organism would most likely be found in place of the question marks?​
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Decomposers

Explanation:

The diagram in this question illustrates a food web, which is a series of interlinked food chains in an ecosystem. In a food chain as depicted in the image, the arrows point to the organism that feeds on another organism. For example, an arrow is pointing from Idaho fescue to an Elk meaning that the elk will feed on that plant.

Different trophic levels constituting organisms exists in the food web including; producers (plants), primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers etc. However, as observed in the image, a general arrow carrying along all the organism is pointing towards the organism in the question mark. This organism is called DECOMPOSER.

A decomposer, usually a microorganism, is an organism that breaks down dead organisms and returns the nutrient to the soil for recycling. All organisms in the food web will eventually die and when they do, they'll be decomposed by a decomposer. This is why the arrow pointing towards the decomposers include all organisms.

What assumptions did Engelmann make in order to conclude that red and violet-blue light were more effective than green light in
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The distribution of chloroplasts in each algae cell was approximately the same.

The number of bacteria grouped at each wavelength (color) was approximately proportional to the amount of oxygen produced by this part of the algae.

Explanation:

Photosynthetic pigments absorb blue, red and green lights. The wavelength of light that is the most effective in driving photosynthesis is 420 nanometers, which corresponds to blue light.

The wavelength of 475nm and 650nm are most effective in driving photosynthesis.
